David Moyes wants his Manchester United players to raise their game and try to match the level of their conquerors City.
The Red Devils manager suffered the sixth Premier League home defeat of his first season in charge as Manuel Pellegrini's near neighbours eased to a 3-0 victory at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.
For the second time in 10 days, Moyes found himself explaining the reasons behind a heavy home defeat to a regional rival - Liverpool having won by the same scoreline against the reigning champions.
Two goals from Edin Dzeko and a late Yaya Toure strike did the damage, but in truth City - now 5/6 title favourites with Sky Bet - were superior in every department.
Moyes told Sky Sports: "I think we've played a very good side and it's the sort of standard and level we need to try and aspire to get ourselves to at this moment in time.
"I think we need to play better. We're needing to come up a couple of levels at the moment and we're not quite there.
"We didn't start the game well, in the first 15 minutes they were very good and we've conceded a goal in 45 seconds so we've not given ourselves a fighting chance.
"I thought we grew into the first half and got better and until the second goal we had a chance, but on the night we didn't do well enough."
